Liv Tyler is relieved she started her acting career when she was still young, because she wouldn't be able to handle today's aggressive tabloid media.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS star lives a relatively private life in New York City with English husband ROYSTON LANDGON and their baby MILO.
She says, "I would've suffered a lot. I always loved being a New Yorker, because I had anonymity.
"Now it has changed drastically - there are so many paparazzi. I think it's important for young people to be able to be young people.
"Having said that, you don't have to go out every night. I don't see Natalie Portman in those magazines all the time.
"It depends on what kind of lifestyle you want."
